Hey, everybody, Tim Miller from the Bullwark here with my colleagues, Andrew Eggery.

It's the Morningshot's newsletter.

Go sign up for that at the Bullwark.com and Will Salatin.

We all signed up for some pretty pointless duty tonight.

So we might as well hang out together and laugh about it.

Donald Trump gave one of the stupidest presidential addresses in history.

It's competitive category with mostly him as the other contestants and maybe w day mission accomplished um but uh we can rank them later we announced nothing i guess i guess that's not true he's giving a very meager christmas bonus to the troops which we appreciate the troops, and we thank them.

Besides that, he spent most of the speech complaining about Joe Biden.

We could run through the details if we want.

But Andrew, why don't we start with you?

What was your impression of our? Can you imagine?

We pay a lot of attention to this guy every day.
